Enabling and disabling XCOPY by default

XCOPY is enabled by default in metro node because the xcopy-enabled attribute is set to true, at manufacturing time, in the cluster context.

To change this behavior, you must alter the default template value of XCOPY.

CAUTION:Changing the default template value of the XCOPY attribute changes the value of the XCOPY attribute in all newly created storage views. This should be done only in rare instances, usually after consultation from Dell EMC Support. Changing the default template value may have an adverse effect on VMWare host I/O performance.
  1. To enable XCOPY by default, set the default-xcopy-template attribute to true as follows: 
    VPlexcli:/> set /clusters/*::default-xcopy-template true
  2. Verify the status of the default-xcopy-template attribute by listing all attributes of the cluster context as follows: 
    VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1> ls
